No...there just aren't any listed.  I'm sure that you could still get Team Storm balls and the other plastic ones...they can't be sold out already.

There has got to be something in the mix...???

There isn't any in the catalogue that is out now. They know they don't have any listed right now.

yes, just through your "strike" ball straight by flatening your wrist. Takes a little bit to get down, but works great. Hell even after I year off I can still manage to do that right, mind you its about the only thing I can still do right

I am essentially completely incapable of throwing the ball straight.  I have to wear a wrist brace because I have a weak wrist that breaks back by default normally, but even without it, I STILL can't help but put side rotation on the ball.  If I don't, I can't aim very well.  Throwing a spare ball lets me keep the ball on-path no matter what the oil pattern is like (great for PBA Experience league), but also lets me throw the ball how I feel comfortable doing it, so I can maintain accuracy.

My thought is why would you not throw plastic? I don't see any reason to use your resin, particle ball and introduce any more lane conditioner to the coverstock than is necessary.

Exactly, 102101. Also, unless you can throw the ball 20+ MPH at your spares, the ball could still hook on dry lanes.

You should always use a spare ball... easiest way to increase spare percentage rates
